Drabek walks

May 16, 2011 (pregame)

Prediction – Kyle Drabek goes deep, notches a quality start and a season high for strikeouts, while walking two batters or less.

Jays 4, Tigers 2

Result – Drabek pitched well overall. He avoided a meltdown inning by getting himself out of trouble, a good sign. He did notch a quality start, going seven innings, striking out two. But his performance turned into something of a walk-a-thon (6 BB). His control is still a work in progress, and he is among the league leaders in bases on balls.
